Oh but Mostakaev is tightening it up a little... Junior has to be careful here... He's got his foot tucked under now, this looks tight! Junior reacted too slowly and this one could be over in a matter of seconds! YES! Junior taps out! Nice BJJ there by Mostakaev!

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:56 of round 1, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle Choke). Kyril Mostakaev!
A very excited looking Kyril Mostakaev rambled incoherently for about 5 minutes post fight about how awesome he is. It was kinda funny for a while but then everyone got annoyed.
